say_v we_o will_v not_o consider_v this_o as_o any_o true_a motive_n to_o the_o receive_n of_o christ_n because_o it_o be_v neither_o sufficient_a nor_o reasonable_a and_o he_o who_o embrace_v

that_o vice_n and_o ungodliness_n be_v more_o common_o practise_v for_o he_o that_o in_o these_o thing_n have_v no_o other_o reason_n or_o motive_n than_o the_o custom_n and_o fashion_n of_o the_o

hereby_o we_o have_v a_o early_a occasion_n of_o acquaint_v ourselves_o with_o those_o great_a and_o important_a thing_n which_o concern_v our_o eternal_a salvation_n and_o therefore_o we_o have_v
